Characteristics of concierge psychiatry

No Insurance Billing: The psychiatrist/provider does not submit claims to insurance companies; which means no copayments, deductibles, or dealing with insurance approval processes.
More Flexible Treatment Plans: Without insurance restrictions; the psychiatric provider may be able to offer more tailored treatment and a broader range of therapies, both traditional and alternative.
Fixed Fee Structure:
Hourly or Flat Rate: Fees are typically charged per session, the rate can vary depending on the type of care and the length of the appointment.
Enhanced Access to Care:
Longer Sessions: Exclusive to the private-pay model you might have; longer sessions, more time for thorough evaluations, deeper exploration into your mental health needs.
No Third-Party Interference:
Privacy and Confidentiality: Without insurance companies involved, there’s typically more privacy because the details of your care aren’t shared with third parties.
Personalized Care: Emphasis on individualized holistic care, with a focus on getting the best outcomes for the patient rather than being limited by insurance reimbursement constraint
